Udinese could be the first team to beat the Nerazzurri this season and Mancini has warned of the dangers he is expecting in Udine.
"It wouldn't be bad if we managed to do what we did in the first half of the season in the second half," Roberto Mancini said on Inter Channel
"We collected loads of points last season and we have already earned many this year. Udinese created difficulties for us last season, and the same happened this year in the home game. It was the first day of the championship and it was very hot, and we were playing in ten against eleven after Julio Cesar's sending-off. I remember it being a very difficult game.
Mancini warned that his side will be wary of Udinese’s danger men upfront, Di Natale has scored seven goals this season and Mancini knows that the Bianconeri striker could be the one to cause Inter’s title hopes some damage.
"They have two good strikers in Di Natale and Quagliarella. Di Natale is more expert because he is a few years older, he has great quality and he works hard for the team. Quagliarella is doing very well, both for Udinese and for the national team.
"Udinese have other good players and they have been doing a good job with young players for years. Udinese play well, and Marino's Catania side did well last season. This means their coach is very good, because if he wasn't, it would be hard to do so well in two years with two different teams. So it will be a hard game and we will have to be in top condition and completely focused, because every match in Italy is difficult."
Inter will be hoping for maximum points from their game at the Stadio Friuli, anything less will mean the title race will be wide open.
